I want to tell you ("10 years ago"-me) to force mom to stop drinking, that she's addicted to it and it'll be the reason why she dies in a few years, but it's way more complicated than that and I'm really not sure what you, or anybody, could do to save her. I think mom drank to cope with life. Even ten years ago you know as well as anybody that all she liked to do was drink entire bottles of wine per day and talk to family and friends on the phone for hours on end. Outside of work, she had nothing else going on.

As for you, keep doing what you're doing. I know you're lost and don't know what to do, but you're on the right path and it'll all work out.

>this past year my sister passed away suddenly

One second a person is here texting you and the next you spend 3 days putting up a facade and parade around for others who didnt really know her or care about her like you did, you bury a body in the ground, then you are left to pick up the pieces for the remainder of your own life.
The finality and quickness of the whole process is startling. And its true when people say you dont actually understand grief till you go through it.
I am a complete mommas boy, not that I dont love my father or my other siblings. But I honestly dont know what I will do when she dies. I get horrible anxiety just thinking about it, because it will happen and unless I get hit by a bus im going to have to endure it.

I wasnt anywhere near as close to my sister as I am my mother. And I feel for all of you people out there also losing family members. It too was "triggering" me reading through some of the posts, and while its not consolation its a good reminder that its a part of normal life.

Dont take up that fucking job just to earn a few bucks, you're not gonna get enough time to study for that exam. Keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on your situation. Keep your smoking to a smoke once a week or even less, it aint gonna help your stress or make the situation any better. Dont stop going to the gym no matter what, you're not gonna have time again in your life to do that.

Don't spend the ghostwriting money, not even a dollar. Your sister will rat you out if you do. Squirrel away all the lunch money too.

Invest all that money as soon as you hit 18. Every single company you thought was a good idea skyrockets. Buy even the ones you're not that interested in because even if you don't buy from them, hordes of normies do.

Your first roommate is an underwear shitting aspie fatass damaged from ADHD drugs and your first dorm room will be flood damaged. The dehumidifier collected 88 gallons. Stay out of that room. It will make you very sick, especially when he spills milk into the air conditioner. Your grades will tank and you'll lose your scholarship.

Never use a wallet, just the ID holder. You'll lose every wallet but the ID holder finds its way back, contents included, no matter how many times you lose it.

If you think an idea might work, go for it. Many times even the proof-of-concept will work on the first go.

You will have an obsession with materials after receiving boxes of Command Strip samples from the castaways of move-in day. Scrap lots of materials are cheap, and auctions for adhesive tapes are oftentimes good deals. Go for it.

Your attempts to make a car more aerodynamic will pay off. Your car will easily average 45 mpg on the interstate because of it. You will use many of those Command Strips during your research so get every box you can. Don't bother removing them for car washes, they will survive them so long as you don't use cardstock and you don't have to rebuild them so often.

Mom's gonna get high. A lot. Don't deny it or live in ignorance. You have 3 years until you get out of there; cope. Exercise. The seratonin and dopamine and endorphin rush from a workout will make you wonder if that's what it feels like for a starving North Korean to start eating regularly. In the Summer of 2014, you'll find the love of your life again after not seeing her since elementary school. Don't be an idiot. Talk to her like she's a normal friend, and not nearly as frequently as you'd like, you creepy dumbass. While you're at it, try for some relationships so you can be a creepy dumbass when it doesn't count. School sucks, and they don't let you work nearly as fast as you'd like. When you're in 7th grade, you'll take up an interest in mathematics after wondering what sin, cos, and tan mean on your calculator. You'll learn most of the high school curriculum and some calculus by the end of the year, and you'll give up faith in the school system. As I write this now I'm 19 and I only just realized that not doing any schoolwork was a mistake, even if it was too easy to be bothered with. If you actually do your schoolwork, then maybe your school and dad and stepmom will accede to your begging and let you do some more advanced stuff. If you don't, you'll be forced in a situation where you'll have to join the Air Force doing a mechanics job you don't care about so you can pay off college in a school you won't care about, on the off chance you might get accepted into MIT for grad school.

Or, put more succinctly: for god's sake, listen to your fucking dad. You're his carbon copy and he knows exactly how you're gonna fuck up every step of the way. And for that reason, show your love and respect for him more where he can see it: measured success and careful listening.

I know mom's dead, but you'll get over it. Stop wallowing about the past as soon as you can, start standing up. Keep dad happy, even though it seems impossible, and try, no, force yourself to become social. It'll take you five years at the very least, and being antisocial and having no true drive are the only two things that will ever keep you back. You have broad shoulders and can surpass anyone in your circle as a human being, as a leader and as a man - you just don't know it yet, and you probably don't want to know it. Within ten years you'll be near the top of the association if you don't listen to this advice - you'll be so much more if you do listen.

Don't go for university far away, take the one closer to home and finish it within half the time. Try your best at your first motorcycle exam, it's your first true failed test and kicks you in a downward spiral.

You know that thing you know for sure you've been secretly preparing yourself for your whole life?

That thing you have a knack for but are afraid to confide in anyone because they'll just tell you 'you need to grow up' or 'stop being such a dork'?

That thing that would have made you a hero to all of the other kids back in grade school?

That thing that even the most supportive people in your family will make you feel like a manchild for STILL being interested in?

That thing you're afraid to invest any money in because you really don't know if you'll even turn a profit or if you'll end up in over your head and lose what tiny little bit of money you have?

Do it. Stop being afraid failure and just try. You won't believe how easy it will be. It won't be a lucrative income, hell by itself, it's not even enough to pay rent each month. But you'll find the happiness you've been searching for, it's as entertaining as anything else you do in your free time, and it's a great way to turn money into more money. You just have to stop being afraid of failing. After all, you're smart enough to fix anything you break and you already know that.

Also, fuck college. College was only useful in teaching you how much of a waste college is.

Also also, having kids doesn't make you crazy. People are crazy and then they have kids. Everybody who acts like their kids are driving them crazy hasn't even survived a tiny fraction of what you've been through. Compared to that shit, this will be one of the easiest "challenges" you'll face. So fuck their input, stop being afraid of parenthood, and for the love of fucking christ, don't freak out when it happens.

Look we all know sucking cocks for a living can be enough to pay the rent by itself each month, but it's just too competitive of a field, what with you and your mom already dominating the market. But unlike you and your mom, I don't live in a refrigerator box, so my rent is more than $3 a month.

Technically $500 a month isn't enough to pay the rent by itself, and I know you don't like anything cutting into your mlp rule 34 time, but you're legit retarded if you don't see how useful an extra $500 can be.

2008:
Girls:
don't just talk the cutie on the bus. She's into you.
Don't expect a lifelong relationship because she will go nuts in 2011.
Go to the public concerts in the next village. Ask the cute girl playing the flute out. Wife her up.
Avoid the rest. They are all not right for you
(even though some of them really have great parents and siblings which you will miss.)
family:
Support Jake with his travels. He will turn out more than alright.
Your grandmas will get dementia. Learn cooking early you dumbfuck. You will regret not having the recipe for kartoffelsuppe und Marillenknödel.
(I'm german)
Force father to visit a doctor regulary... He will survive his heart attack in 2013 but it was avoidable.
Still visit grandma on the 11th of April in 2015 but wear MMA-gloves. You will fuck up your knuckles by beating the shit out of a intruder.
Join the shooting club. These two weirdos there will grow to be your closest friends.
Education:
just finish the 10th grade and start an apprenticeship as a machine tool builder.
Don't bother studying to become an engineer.
There will be a better path and you will become self employed anyway.
DIY- Related:
Don't buy the small motorcycle and the kawasaki. Buy the cagiva.
Don't throw away those weird gadgets and tools from grandpas workshop. In 8 years you will find out what they are good for.
Do buy the italian car with natural gas. It will pay for itself in the next 6 years.
Don't buy any knives. You will learn to forge one soon enough.
Don't buy a lot of hand tools.
There is a room in Grandmas house, that you don't know of, which holds a lot of tools from great-grandpa.
Don't worry so much. In the end you have a metric fuck ton of luck.
Don't dream about migrating. The gras on the other hillside is just greener from the distance. Looking up close it's just the same sheepshit as on this side...

Buy bitcoin(computer currency), sell early 2018.

Quit being a lazy fuck, get in shape(swimming), get semi-random job, Look after your teeth- you will lose enamel and that can not be fixed, make some cash then go to college/uni. Grandma is going to go all alzhimers and die, then grandpa is going to all but loose the will to live. Cherish your time with them. Dad has MS and will smoke himself into multiple heart attacks then death(mid 2016). Use the bus to go to library and stuff, get out and find places where people you might like are then go there(anime convention). That cute blond girl that was really nosy? pretty sure she was romantically interested(it will take you 4 years to realize this, you are really fucking oblivious). That girl you have a crush on? There is no good time. Just fix your shit, ask a few random girls out first to get over the jitters then ask her(take the bus, go do mini golf or check out manga at the chapters bookstore and under no circumstances make a marriage joke/reference).

In the event that shit doesn't work out again and you endup a shut in for a few years again -The girl you meet on your first date, the blonde in the winter coat that looks terrified? No, bad idea. You get sucked in trying to make her happy then end up with her too dependent on you to leave even when you really should.

Try to learn some programing/computer/business stuff, seriously you really suck and should try to fix that. Also the problem with your computer is that the network card(the computer bit that makes the internet work, google it) is half falling out. Get a vasectomy and/or use damn good condoms with no exceptions. Turns out you could all but knock up a rock, this leads to years of misery and emotional conflict.

Also, cat needs a flea bath and double check your graduation ceremony details. You got the day wrong, you will miss it and you mom is actually really hyped about it. She will honest to god cry, She bought tickets and everything. Also, turns out all her side of the family and your brother smoke pot. YOU ARE REALLY OBLIVIOUS.

Also academic upgrading through an adult education thing actually works really well and you do have a legitimate if tricky to diagnose learning disability. Study you college shit before you go, they half ass everything. Just learn the stuff on the course outlines. You got psoriasis not dandruff. All the room mates your dad gets are shit, no exceptions. Just about every one of them fucks him over in some way, dad has very poor judgement when it comes to people and actually was involved in some wannabe drug dealer shit back in the 80s. The new place your dad moves into has rat poison in the basement and it kills the cats.

Be careful of people supporting people, you are shit at cutting your losses.

The things I knowingly chose to do, or better said not do, are also the things I know make me think about killing myself every single day. I always showed massive potential but as a lazy little shit coasting I never developed anything even close to a work ethic. Studying the day before the test hasn't worked for the three years I've been in college, I knew it wouldn't even before I got there, yet I still do it ever single time, always blowing everything off until it's panic mode and I barely scrape by unless I'm """unlucky""". I know I'll be a lot worse off down the line for just a bit of pleasure today, yet I can't keep myself from doing dumb shit or avoiding my responsibilities. To top it all off, I know I'm the only one to blame for it yet I feel angry at the entire world except myself.

I think I've honestly just given up over the last year and am patiently waiting for things to get bad enough that they push me over the edge whether I like it or not. No amount of help and support has made me think I'm not a worthless turd of a human being who will never get anything done. My biggest regret is not being able to live up the promise I made to my mom on the pier that one day when I was a little kid, that I'd be a good man with a good job and buy her that beautiful house overlooking the cliff when she's old so she can move out of the sticks, because she's been such a good mom and deserves it. She probably doesn't even remember that silly thing. But I do, almost every single night, and I know I sound like a massive pussy but I panic and tear up every single time. Like now.

Truth is you are doing fine. Whatever you are doing you are doing great. You do it with your best efforts and good intentions.

If there is by an of chance you doubt it God ... don't. After much soul searching and a caouple of college degrees you will realize that God is everything. There is wisdom in this. Also seek wisdom. It will be better for you than anything else. Understand though that the race does not always go to the fastest and riches dont go to the smartest.

- Forget the dumb roastie and bid farewell to the broken one. Leave her in God's hands. You need to do better. Don't settle. Go for the other one. That pretty ray of sunshine is very interested. Search another decade, you will not find anyone remotely comparable. And don't worry, she wants lots of kids too.
- Buy bitcoin, Sell at 18k. Seriously.
- Your parents are sticks in the mud and will only drag you down. Be nice to them, they mean well, but don't listen to their fears. Live your own damn life and dreams, not theirs. Don't let them try and relive their sad lives through you.
- Ditch the meme-teir school. Its a dead end. Don't take career advice from anyone over 35. It does matter where you go. Its all connections and who you know. And do internships.
- Transfer and chase your enginerding dream at a good school. Plenty in the Rockies (and take that pretty girl with you!...btw her family is loaded, they might even help) Hard as hell, but you can do it. Including the math. And get that master's too. There will be plenty of money to get you through. Just apply for it, and pitch your wildest crazy ideas. You are on the right track.
- Take care of your body. Keep eating well, and take up strength training. Your future well being depends on it. And stay away from field work and blue collar crap. They only care about their safety bonus, you are as expendable as used toilet paper to these souless companies.
- Thats why you patent shit and start your own. Dig out that notebook in the closet. You have good ideas. Patent that shit before it hits the market in about 5 years. If you run into a snag, call up your friend from high school. Dude is a business genius. Play your cards right, take some risks, and you will easily end up very well off, and with plenty of time for your family too.
- Never forget God in all of this. Put him first, give back with your finances and more important, your time.
- Time is the most valuable resource on earth. Spend it wisely.

Hey, I know you did not have the mental capacity/fortitude to do well in school when you were younger, but take whatever minuscule connective tissue you had tying your frontal lobe to the rest of your brain and devote it to learning Math at the expense of your grades in other subjects. DO IT. All that english, history, science, philosophy, and other shit will all come easy to you when you are older but math takes foundations that can only be built once you have expended the necessary mental effort to build them and every year that you don’t work on it is another year you are ACTIVELY BEHIND AND HAVE TO CATCH UP ON.

Don’t be sad that dad stopped being a father to you when you turn twelve, you will rebuild your relationship with him later. Yes, it is pretty obvious your sister is his actual favorite. Keep those gross sexual comments to yourself when you were 15 in english class. Foster realistic expectations, you are not going to take a robotics class and suddenly get hired on in a lab starting at 60k a year you dumb kid.
Mom is going a try to commit suicide twice, and dad is going to find solace in his work and be at home less often.

Non committal sex is without a doubt the most over rated in existence. All that time you spent as a thirsty teenager thinking about sex is a waste.
Grow a spine and don’t shirk those opportunities to become skilled at physical labor, you are not going to get that cushy office job as a computer hardware engineer, you are going into becoming a lineman like your dad, so get used to that shovel.
All those “online/LDR” are stupid, but it gave you the chops to do it right with that interpal qt. It will be the hardest thing you have ever done, but bringing her over and building a life with her will be the most rewarding and satisfying thing you do and give you purpose an meaning, don’t give up!

Dremel rotary tools are not meant for 2 inch portable vises. Don’t try to be nice or negotiate with big angry guy in welding class, he won’t appreciate what you do for him, will throw you seven feet away and nearly paralyze you when you land on the CNC track. Start working sooner so you grow a thicker skin faster. Start learning leatherworking sooner. Pay more attention in welding class, make more projects to show off in welding class, interviewers like to ask what you made, not how much you practice or test your welds. There’s a screw and nail for different uses for a reason. Find an actual mentor. Just because Dad found a solution on YouTube doesn’t mean it’s a bright idea. Learn machining for the move of god. Also take business course before you gotta work. (Still haven’t done this.)

Go straight to trade school. You've had two years to unfuck yourself. Start your career now.

You can't save Greg, no matter how hard you try. But you can be there for him.

Bottling up all the hate and recrimination and self loathing for the next 10 years will do nothing good. Get help. Get help now.

God damn I can't wait for this thread to die.
I wish you all happy futures, but the thoughts of what I could have done tear me apart. I come here learning and helping people fix shit that is fixable. I don't come here to be reminded of the voids I've found in life. When this thread dies, I'd appreciate we all go back to being anonymous faggots without crushed dreams and aspirations.
I'd like to imagine you all are moderately successful assholes. I've had enough reality

I’m sorry you feel that way, Anon. I can sympathize with you on that, felt the same way when I started using this “hellish” website. (It’s only as hellish as humanity itself yet we’re still calling the site hell, been bothering me for awhile.)
Keep in mind one thing, you’re not on your death bed yet. You still have time to work on yourself or whatever you choose, it’s only too late when you’re bleeding out on the side of a road (or a more non-violent cause of death.)
Btw, no one is bitching about their successes, like getting that internship or apprenticeship that made their career kick off well, or a pay raise or how 4chan actually helped them keep their job after something idiotic happened and they were left to fix it. I’m sure there’s plenty of happy people on here, but we gotta admit, we love to bitch and moan. Best of luck to you, and I’ll see you on the next “help me fix my shit” thread, Anon.

Your dad is a fucking cunt who will always lord his expertise over you but barely dispense worthwhile knowledge, actively holding it hostage from you just so you have some stupid reason to need him. Lose the fucker, teach yourself everything you want, start very simple, and very easy.
